phonological loop
Which term refers to a set of processes that allow us to hold information in mind and manipulate it?
working memory
Which term refers to contrasting patterns of deficit in two patients or patient groups which provides evidence for functionally independent systems?

Hva førte til at gruppen med økt self-efficacy fikk det i studiet?
“reframing” av forståelsen av at oppgaven er vanskelig er positivt og fører til læring. Altså at de ikke er dumme. Individualistisk kultur vanskelig = lave kognitive evner… reframe dette gir økt self efficacy.. også bedre enn erfaring av mestring

Persons with high WMC
What is it called:
